She is testing you to see if you are cheap charlie, generally wives expect no less than 1 baht in gold at a time... :)

Weight

One baht Thai gold is equivalent to 15,244 grams before it is worked up. After the work the weight should be equal with or more than 15,16 grams, to still be termed as one baht gold. (To simplify it, one baht of gold normally is termed as 15,2 grams)

One or two 'satang' would be small indeed (100 satang to a baht). 50 satang is small, with 25 satang being the smallest I know of being sold by goldshops.

A ring can be 1 or 2 salang, bracelets are usually counted in baht weight.

Thai gold is not count in carrots, 96.5% is considered jing.

4 salung = 1 baht

1 baht = 15.16 GRAMS
